A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 702 Zhulong Proves Supreme Again
Sensing the human race ahead, the three-leaf sword grass trembled violently, its roots tightly entwining around the hair of the Yu clan. Without further hesitation, it immediately probed its own consciousness into the celestial spirit beneath it, communicating with the Immortal King's primordial spirit, which exuded a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

"Yu, something's wrong with the human in front of you! He has no cultivation!"

The young voice of the Three-Leaf Sword Grass was tinged with fear, "This is the very core of the Realm within a Realm created by Laozi within Mount Funiu. How could the creatures here truly be without any cultivation, just like an ordinary human?!"

"Even if one's cultivation is suppressed by the special rules of this realm, it only means that it cannot be expressed through the body. As long as one uses external objects reasonably, the performance of immortal beings will be no different from that of beings in the outside world. After attaining immortality, one can also connect to the [Spirit Realm] here!"

"Most importantly, he emerged from beneath the Chaos Heavenly Pool and devoured all the chaotic energy within it. We've all witnessed how terrifying the Chaos Heavenly Pool is; even we newly ascended Supreme Giants like ourselves would be in mortal danger if we fell in!"

"The fact that this creature, which is suspected to be 'human,' is behaving so normally is precisely the most abnormal thing!"

"As for whether it's because the newly promoted Immortal King [Spirit Realm] didn't have his King-level Dao Mark at the Kings' Conference!"

Yu Shi's expression remained unchanged, but silently, he had already mobilized the fortune of the human race's immortal kings, connected with the overall trend of the human race, and looked at the fortune of the beings in front of him.

A wisp of dark yellow light, imbued with the profound virtue of the earth element, gradually condensed into a cloud of auspicious light, radiating imperial brilliance and blooming with golden flowers of fortune, subtly resonating with the grand trend of the human race that connects the past and the future.

The being before them, devoid of any cultivation, was protected by the fortune of the human race and further enhanced by a wisp of human power. Based solely on what was seen at the moment, it was already in no way inferior to the destiny that the Youyu clan had actively gathered after breaking through to the Supreme Giant realm.

Yu Shi, on the Immortal King's primordial spirit on the platform, said, "He is indeed human. He possesses the destiny of humanity and is further blessed by a grand trend concerning the future of humanity."

"As for why he has no cultivation, I think we can just ask him directly."

The three-leaf sword grass was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Yes, you can just ask if you have any questions.

This place is a realm within a realm created by Laozi in the Funiu Mountains. No one can enter without the permission of this Supreme Dao Ancestor.

On the contrary, as long as it exists in this realm, it means that this special being has been investigated and thoroughly understood by Laozi under his watchful eye.

In short, they have powerful backers now, so there's nothing to worry about.

The communication between Yu Shi and the Three-Leaf Sword Grass was extremely brief, reaching a consensus in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, Youyu looked at the human who was playing with the blue lotus that was emitting wisps of chaotic energy and asked, "Fellow Daoist Youxiong, the divine abilities you possess now all indicate that you have another identity. May I tell you?"

Looking at the earnest, honest-looking man in front of him, Youxiong smiled and nodded slightly.

He said, “Of course. In the long period of time since then, besides ‘Human Race · Youxiong’, I also have an imperial title recognized by all living beings in heaven and earth.”

"The Yellow Emperor".

As glimmers of cosmic light emerge, the illusory image of the long river of time manifests, and whispers echo from the past and the future, reverberating into the present, carrying the immense power of faith.

"The Supreme Central Government"

"The Eternal Emperor."

"."

Every thread of time reflects the ancient history and the illusory future, echoing the imperial title of "Yellow Emperor".

It is as if the title "Yellow Emperor" has become a concept, permeating the years, connecting the long river of time into a line, becoming a kind of abstract collection.

The expressions of San Ye Jian Cao and You Yu Shi changed slightly. They both felt an incredibly terrifying distortion of spacetime. Under this abstract aggregation, their own "Dao" and "Fa" were becoming hazy and blurred, as if something earth-shattering was gradually reviving.

"The Yellow Emperor, senior, is he returning from eternal silence?"

Yu Shi quickly took several steps back, her eyes filled with horror.

There is a rough description of some basic facts about the Immortal Emperor Lu Jin in the Spirit Realm.

Based on the available information, the Immortal Emperor is the highest realm, the end of the path of evolution, and there is no "Dao" or "Dharma" more powerful than it in the world. The beings in this realm have already transcended the concept of death, and the only way to make such beings disappear from the world is to make them eternally silent.

Even if they truly fall into eternal silence, as long as there are living beings who still remember their names, they will surely return to the world after a long period of time.

This is the meaning of "What you keep in mind will surely come to pass".

The current situation is about 70% similar to the process of the Immortal Emperor Lu Jin returning from Eternal Silence.

Youxiong nodded, "That's right, we're slowly climbing up from the great pit of eternal silence, following the three landmarks of the mortal world."

Then, Youxiong spread his hands, his tone somewhat helpless, "However, I'm in a deep state of eternal silence, and I even ate some extra snacks. I'm holding on, but it's a bit difficult to 'surface'. I can only throw away the less important 'power' first and reflect my 'true self' back to the present world."

"Anyway, as long as the 'true self' returns, there won't be too much of a problem with the Dao heart. It's only a matter of time before the power can be cultivated back."

Youxiong patted his chest, a hint of pride in his expression, "I have a lot of experience with rebuilding things."

The three-leaf sword grass brushed up more of her hair, and Yu Shi's face paled slightly. She subconsciously took a step back.

Could this Yellow Emperor have maintained a clear mind even in eternal silence?
Furthermore, it can "eat" food, actively "float" upwards, and reflect images.
In that case, can it still be considered eternal silence?

He is very experienced in rebuilding his own power, and he speaks of falling into eternal silence as if he were returning home.
Without a doubt, this is a dangerous individual. How could Laozi allow this Immortal Emperor to return to the mortal world from eternal silence here?

Yu forced a smile. "Senior Youxiong, did you come here specifically to see me? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Youxiong slowly walked to Youyu's side, put his arm around Youyu's shoulder, whose body was a little stiff, and said with a very comfortable expression, "Hey, don't talk about seniors, just call each other fellow Daoists, or even call me big brother."

"As for helping, there's no need to think too much about it now; we'll be able to help sooner or later."

"Right now, your older brother just wants to enjoy a rare holiday for a while."

He tricked his nephew Li Xiang into the Probability Era, where he inherited a whole host of troublesome responsibilities as the "incarnation of the Yellow Emperor".

When the "Long Night Avatar" entered eternal silence, it also broke free from most of the strange and ominous causal entanglements.

The burdens that "Xuanhuang Tianzun" possessed were completely discarded by a certain silkworm that was fully transforming towards the end of its path. The fate of "Mythical Heavenly Emperor" was also prepared and placed on the long river of time, just waiting for the runaway child to break through the kingship, become emperor, and inherit the throne.

"Zhenyuan Daozu" doesn't need much preparation; simply unfolding his "body" will naturally cause him to "transform into all things." As for any strange or ominous movements, the Desolate Heaven Emperor and Huafenlu Daozu are stationed at the "Sacrifice River" to watch over them, so there's absolutely no need to worry.

Right now, I feel completely relaxed.

Youxiong looked at Youyu and the three-leaf sword grass at the tip of her hair, her expression becoming even more amiable. She then took out a bronze mirror engraved with starlight patterns and containing the true meaning of the void.

"Well, plus, I wanted to find a little bit of fun."

The three-leaf sword grass trembled several times, and Yu Shi's usually honest face became extremely stiff.
-
Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, beyond the celestial chaos, Qilin Cliff.

Qi Jing, who had just woken up, jumped around a few times with a joyful expression. Looking at the lost Emperor Huang Tian's light in her mind, her eyes were full of happiness.

He exclaimed loudly, "Ah, that feels so good! Two eras have finally ended, and I can finally be released after serving my sentence!"

"The mythical era was declared to have ended by the Mythical Heavenly Emperor, and the ancient era was completely brought to a close by Zhenyuan Daozu driving the sea sacrifice to become the 'Sacrifice River.' In the third era, I finally no longer need to create chaos and create star fields!"

At this moment, a wisp of Zhu Qing's consciousness projection fell from the [Spirit Realm] and appeared in front of Qi Jing, greeting her with a smile.

"Yes, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Qi Jing. But how does Fellow Daoist Qi Jing plan to gather all the spiritual resources needed to break through from King to Emperor?"

"Although many of us Quasi-Immortal Emperors have contributed most of our wealth to gather half of the spiritual resources for Fellow Daoist Qi Jing, once your term ends and the Emperor's light of the Desolate Heaven Emperor dissipates, there will be no more Dao essence at the End of the Path level to borrow to increase the speed of collection."

"Fellow Daoist Qi Jing wants to slowly collect all the spiritual matter using that Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor's clone. That will take some time."

The joy in Qi Jing's heart vanished in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

This feeling of having the ability to become the Supreme Dao Ancestor, yet having to continue waiting due to insufficient spiritual resources, was somewhat agonizing for Qi Jing, especially after the words of the Candle Dragon Celestial Venerable, which made him feel even worse.

At this moment, Zhulong Tianzun smiled and took out a crystal engraved with a three-dimensional rune, handing it to Qi Jing.

He seemed to be extremely considerate of Qi Jing, "Fellow Daoist, why not continue to take up a position in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?"

Zhu Qing patted his chest and said to Qi Jing, whose expression was gradually becoming wary, "Don't worry, this is definitely not the kind of agreement you signed before. If you don't want to do it anymore, you can take a break, it won't have any impact. And you can also use the convenience of this position to mobilize part of the origin of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so as to collect spiritual resources more quickly."

"Moreover, this position does not require your physical body to sign it. Even if it is that quasi-immortal emperor clone that ascends the path, there will be no problem."

Upon hearing what Zhu Qing said, Qi Jing's originally wary expression wavered for a moment.

Saki asked tentatively, "So, what is the title of this position?"

Zhulong Tianzun immediately replied with a serious expression, "It is the 'Guardian of the Great Universe'. In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there is no other position that can be held as a part-time job for a Quasi-Immortal Emperor avatar who has risen through the ranks. It is more promising than this one."

Without waiting for Qi Jing's response, the manifested Zhulong projection arrived at the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor standing to the side and placed the crystal, which was tightly held and shimmering with a special three-dimensional rune, into the hand of this Quasi-Immortal Emperor level Qilin.

"Fellow Daoist, please accept this position. It will definitely help you achieve the status of Supreme Dao Ancestor ahead of time, and allow you to go further in the Supreme Realm. There might even be a slight chance to reach the End of the Path Realm, become a Half-Step Immortal Emperor, and ultimately attain the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit!"

“Fellow Daoist Qi Jing, you should think about this. This ‘Guardian of the Great Universe’ can mobilize the origin of the Great Universe, and will definitely allow you to comprehend the laws of the path within the origin of the Great Universe at all times.”

"With this foundation, there is truly a greater and more visible hope of attaining the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit in the future!"

Saki looked somewhat dazed.

That was indeed the case; he was very confident that he could become the Supreme Dao Ancestor, provided he had sufficient spiritual resources.

But what happens after one ascends to the supreme realm?

Perhaps taking even a small step forward will lead to complete stagnation, with no further progress for countless years. With enough luck, one might be able to cultivate until reaching the ultimate peak, using resources to forcefully stand at the limit of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm.

But once you venture into the dead end, there is truly no hope at all.

Regarding his own potential, Qi Jing's true self has never attained the supreme Dao fruit, but his quasi-Immortal Emperor level clone can still glimpse the twists and turns of his future cultivation from the perspective of a current supreme being.

This is not a bottleneck that can be broken through by relying on "invincible mind", "Daoist mind" and "perseverance", but rather the limit of talent and ability. Without obtaining greater opportunities, it really comes to an end.

Qi Jing looked at the crystal in the Quasi-Immortal Emperor's exhibition, his hesitation growing stronger.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let me think about it some more."

Suddenly, Zhu Qing's expression shifted dramatically. While pulling at the threads of cause and effect, he used his authority in the [Spirit Realm] to keep tying one dead knot after another.

Moreover, he was loudly proclaiming in the information database of the [Spirit Realm], "What? Fellow Daoist Qi Jing, you've agreed to take on the position of 'Guardian of the Great Universe'? That's fantastic!"

Furthermore, through the projection manifested by the [Spirit Realm], Zhu Qing activated a wisp of the incomplete Quasi-Immortal Emperor's Law of Time, causing the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Qilin's palm to instantly close, splashing up a cloud of crystal powder and releasing the three-dimensional runes within.

"Ow!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi Jing!"

"Lord Long, I'm free!"

A dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, its joy exceeding ten thousand times that of the great Qilin just now.

And at the instant the dragon's roar rose, the figure of a Candle Dragon at the level of Emperor Light Immortal King instantly rushed into the depths of chaos, and integrated with the secret realm within its body, causing a "Sixth Secret Realm" located on the river of time, possessing the characteristics of time flow and exuding the aura of candlelight to crash down, merging with the secret realm universe within its body.

A dazzling light of Quasi-Immortal Emperor rose, and the Heavenly Venerable Zhulong once again proved himself to be the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Amidst the astonishment, the Qilin Quasi-Immortal Emperor let out a mournful cry.

This quasi-Immortal Emperor avatar was dragged into the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths by a three-dimensional rune possessing the power of the Great Universe's will, replacing the original position of the Candle Dragon Celestial Venerable.
